A delightful poem about a black crow who wanted to be colorful and beautiful like a peacock, but eventually learns to appreciate his own natural beauty.
Stanza 1:
There once was a crow.
He was black, as you know.
How to be beautiful,
he wanted to know.
Colourful feathers,
he wanted to grow.
Stanza 2:
He found one peacock feather.
He stuck it in his tail.
Then he found another,
He picked up all without fail.
Stanza 3:
He stuck them in his wings,
Put one on his head.
I am now beautiful,
He danced and said.
Stanza 4:
The other crows laughed at him.
“Oh, what a fool you are!
You are beautiful in black.
We love you for what you are.”
